The Saloon Strategy

Close

Shane is a man of simple pleasures, enjoying many of the regular trappings of a lonely bachelor, such as Beer and Pizza. Out of all the romance and friendship options in Stardew Valley, Shane is one of the easiest to build a relationship with, so long as you have the cash.

Part of Shane's regular routine, regardless of the day or season, involves visiting the Stardrop Saloon after work. He'll hang out by the wall until the late hours of the night. While you're at the Stardrop Saloon, you can purchase a few dishes from Gus behind the counter. Some of these dishes include Beer and Pizza, two of Shane's favorite gifts. This allows you to easily give Shane the best gifts possible and quickly build your relationship.

Best Backup Options

There are a lot of Universal Likes in Stardew Valley, including artisan goods, cooked food, flowers, gems, and more. If you aren't able to buy a Pizza or Beer at the Stardrop Saloon and still want to give Shane a gift, it's better to go with some kind of egg or fruit. Shane likes all eggs, excluding Void Eggs, and fruit will always go by well with him.

If you've started with the Meadowlands Farm and therefore have a chicken coop to start out, you can easily grab an egg in the morning and give it to Shane on his way to work. This means you won't have to buy Beer and Pizza from the Stardrop Saloon and can keep some of your hard-earned gold.

Shane's Hated Gifts In Stardew Valley

Avoid At All Cost

There are some gifts in Stardew Valley that Shane and nearly everyone else despises. Giving Shane a hated gift will severely lower your friendship with the man. Oddly enough, out of all the universally hated gifts in the game, Shane has a higher opinion on Seaweed and Strange Buns, although they are disliked and neutral respectively, so they still don't make good gifts.

The worst gifts you could ever give to Shane are Pickles and Quartz. He considers them both garbage, and giving them to him will lower your relationship by 40 points. The good news is, if you keep with the Stardrop Saloon strategy and buy lots of Beer and Pizza, you'll quickly befriend Shane in Stardew Valley.
